Welcome to Wales Today, our top story: April Jones's killer Mark

:00:00.:00:09.

Bridger has dropped his bid to overturn his whole life prison

:00:10.:00:13.

sentence. Our other headlines tonight: How do

:00:14.:00:17.

we get more doctors to come and work here? Plaid Cymru's plan to pay off

:00:18.:00:19.

medical students' debts. Jailed for stealing from her friends

:00:20.:00:23.

who thought they were paying into a Christmas savings club. We were all

:00:24.:00:30.

really close friends, it was really close-knit community. We all lived

:00:31.:00:36.

within a stone 's throw of each other. She broke our trust as a

:00:37.:00:38.

friend. In tonight's sport: Time for cool

:00:39.:00:43.

heads. Both Cardiff and Swansea feeling the pressure but determined

:00:44.:00:47.

to move out of trouble near the bottom of the table.

:00:48.:00:48.

And look what washed up on bottom of the table.

:00:49.:00:52.

beach. It could be from a whale and could be worth thousands.

:00:53.:01:08.

Good evening. Mark Bridger, the man convicted of murdering

:01:09.:01:12.

Good evening. Mark Bridger, the man against his whole life sentence.

:01:13.:01:14.

Good evening. Mark Bridger, the man Bridger was jailed last year for

:01:15.:01:16.

abducting and murdering five-year-old April in Machynlleth.

:01:17.:01:20.

He had been planning to lodge an appeal later this month. Our

:01:21.:01:24.

reporter, Charlotte Dubenskji is in Machynlleth tonight.

:01:25.:01:35.

Good evening. April's parent has been told that decision. I spoke to

:01:36.:01:41.

one of April's sisters who said their mother does want to comment on

:01:42.:01:45.

the news. We have heard from April's Rand further who said that

:01:46.:01:52.

as a weight off their minds. It is a big relief. April Jones was just

:01:53.:01:59.

five years old when her young life was snatched away. She was playing

:02:00.:02:05.

near her home on an estate in Machynlleth when she was abducted in

:02:06.:02:12.

2012. Last year, Mark Bridger was jailed for her abduction and

:02:13.:02:16.

murder. He was given a whole life sentence. He sought permission to

:02:17.:02:20.

appeal against that tariff but today the judicial office has confirmed

:02:21.:02:24.

that application has been dropped. April's family say they are

:02:25.:02:30.

relieved. Somebody who doesn't crime like that should not be allowed to

:02:31.:02:34.

appeal. I think they should lose the rights. A whole life should mean a

:02:35.:02:43.

whole life. I know there is different circumstances but in a

:02:44.:02:49.

crime like this, he has taken a life so he should pay with his own.

:02:50.:02:53.

April's disappearance rock this community became the Eggers police

:02:54.:03:01.

search in British history. The community of Machynlleth pull

:03:02.:03:04.

together to look for the little girl and hundreds of volunteers from

:03:05.:03:07.

across the country also joined in the search. But remains have never

:03:08.:03:12.

been found. Mark Bridger will now stay behind bars for the rest of his

:03:13.:03:17.

life. The community here hope they can now draw a line under what

:03:18.:03:24.

happened. That is something geeky amenity here

:03:25.:03:29.

really want to do. Nobody wants to forget -- that is what the community

:03:30.:03:33.

here want to do. Nobody wants to forget what happened. There is a

:03:34.:03:38.

pink ribbon below the clock to remember April Jones. She will

:03:39.:03:42.

always live in the hearts and minds of people in this community and in

:03:43.:03:44.

communities across Wales. Junior doctors who work in Wales

:03:45.:03:48.

could have their student debts paid off if they take up posts where

there's a shortage of recruits. off if they take up posts where

Cymru. The party says if it were power, it would attract a thousand

:03:59.:04:03.

:04:11.:04:12.

centralise services? more doctors mean we don't have to

:04:13.:04:17.

says if it got into power it would pay off the debts of junior doctors

:04:18.:04:21.

who agree to stay in Wales for a certain period of time. Would that

:04:22.:04:24.

encourage more to work here when they qualify? Money is certainly an

:04:25.:04:28.

issue for these Cardiff Medical School students. I think medical

:04:29.:04:37.

students and the huge amounts of financial pressures. For new

:04:38.:04:41.

students, fees being ?9,000 a year and having to contented longer

terms, travel costs which can be extensive. If the worst governments

:04:47.:04:52.

are going to pay off most of the zone it is a consideration would

:04:53.:04:56.

consider. Opponents think a Plaid Cymru plan

:04:57.:05:00.

to pay for a thousand doctors with a tax on a litre of sugary drinks

:05:01.:05:07.

doesn't add up. We know the problems outweigh the recruitment of doctors

:05:08.:05:10.

and that we have the reconfiguration progress. The idea we could fund

:05:11.:05:16.

core NHS services by what is effectively a tangled tax, really, I

:05:17.:05:22.

think it reduces its simple as it do. The salary costs would be around

:05:23.:05:33.

?65 million. We would look to either pay for it within the NHS budget and

:05:34.:05:39.

reallocate within the NHS budget all we would lock at using new tax

:05:40.:05:41.

powers. Plaid says it would also guarantee

:05:42.:05:44.

medical training for Welsh speakers, if they meet the entry requirements.

:05:45.:05:52.

It says cutting paperwork would make the NHS more attractive to recruits.

:05:53.:05:55.

It wants to protect training for post-graduates and suggests hiring

:05:56.:05:58.

foreign doctors, including trainees from developing countries. A lot of

:05:59.:06:06.

GPs in some areas of Wales are getting to the end of their careers

:06:07.:06:13.

and we have an impending recruitment crisis for general practice as a

:06:14.:06:17.

result. The NHS says a shortage of doctors isn't the only reason for

:06:18.:06:20.

hospital reorganisation. They say some specialist treatments have to

:06:21.:06:22.

be centralised to make sure doctors see enough patients. But the

:06:23.:06:25.

politicians know that can be a bitter pill for the public to

:06:26.:06:27.

swallow. Daniel, has there been a response

:06:28.:06:31.

from within the NHS to Plaid Cymru's proposals? Those students you saw in

:06:32.:06:39.

my reports, they may be interested in any offer to pay the debts the

:06:40.:06:43.

aromatic but the Wales deanery, one of the bodies responsible for

:06:44.:06:46.

medical training, says it sounds like an expensive off at a time when

:06:47.:06:51.

men that money is tight. It says it is much more important to

:06:52.:06:55.

concentrate on that -- -- experienced doctors have because

:06:56.:06:58.

that'll be a bigger factor in persuading them to stay. Hospital

:06:59.:07:02.

reorganisation stays at the top of the agenda. We were

:07:03.:07:07.

reorganisation stays at the top of on hospitals before Christmas. They

reorganisation stays at the top of in this place in

over. Police are continuing

:07:13.:07:22.

Gwent Valleys. Ian Davies, who was 27 and from Trinant, was taken to

:07:23.:07:26.

hospital with a wound to his body on Saturday night but later died.

:07:27.:07:30.

Tests on Briwet bridge which crosses the Dwyryd estuary near

:07:31.:07:32.

Penrhyndeudraeth have revealed it's unsafe and will remain closed. The

:07:33.:07:37.

150-year-old wooden structure was shut to traffic in December

:07:38.:07:39.

following concerns it had become unstable. A new bridge is being

:07:40.:07:46.

built there which, its hoped, will open for cars and trains in the

:07:47.:07:48.

spring. A mother of four who stole nearly

:07:49.:07:52.

?8,000 of Christmas savings from her friends and neighbours has been

:07:53.:07:58.

jailed for 18 months. Joanne Jones, from Treharris, stole from 18 people

:07:59.:08:01.

who'd paid money into the Park Group Christmas Savings Scheme. Nick Palit

:08:02.:08:11.

reports. 19 people in the village of

:08:12.:08:15.

Treharris had been paying into the Park Savings Club, a few pounds

:08:16.:08:18.

every week since last January to ease the cost of Christmas presents.

:08:19.:08:22.

But in August, as the festive season drew closer, it became apparent that

:08:23.:08:25.

their Park agent hadn't been passing on their cash to the company. Today,

:08:26.:08:29.

some of those who lost out, attended court to see the woman who'd stolen

:08:30.:08:36.

from them jailed. We were all really close friends, it was a really

:08:37.:08:40.

close-knit community. We lived within a stone 's throw from each

:08:41.:08:45.

other. She broke our trust as a friend.

:08:46.:08:50.

36-year-old mother of four, Joanne Jones, pleaded guilty to stealing

:08:51.:08:54.

their money. In court her legal team said she was a victim of domestic

:08:55.:08:57.

violence and was under pressure from an alcoholic husband. I do feel

:08:58.:09:04.

sorry for them but she got what she deserved. She should not have stolen

:09:05.:09:10.

off everybody. With the loss of ?7,700, many of those who'd been

:09:11.:09:13.

saving were sick with worry. One family had lost ?1,300, others a

:09:14.:09:16.

couple of hundred, all feared their children would have a miserable

:09:17.:09:19.

Christmas as a result. But the community of Treharris rallied round

:09:20.:09:22.

and fundraising events managed to replace some of the missing cash.

:09:23.:09:25.

Outside court today, Joanne Jones' mother said her daughter was

:09:26.:09:32.

extremely sorry. Chuan put her hands up, that is it. She's doing her time

:09:33.:09:38.

and God help her, she will not do it again.

:09:39.:09:42.

Park co-operated with the police inquiry and in a statement said they

:09:43.:09:45.

make every effort to help customers on the extremely rare occasions such

:09:46.:09:50.

as this. Sentencing Chuan Jones to months, the judge said this was a

:09:51.:09:56.

disgraceful reach of trust which cause stress and anxiety to people

:09:57.:09:59.

who took out these accounts. Of the 19 players they were family members

Families of patients at two hospitals in Bridgend and Port

:10:25.:10:26.

Talbot have accused the Health Minister of going back on a promise

:10:27.:10:30.

to review past standards of care. Last October it was announced the

:10:31.:10:34.

Princess of Wales and Neath Port Talbot Hospitals would be reviewed

:10:35.:10:36.

after the death of 82-year-old Lilian Williams. India Pollock

:10:37.:10:48.

reports. Lillian Williams was, according to her family, independent

:10:49.:10:55.

and full of life. When she needed hospital treatment she suffered

:10:56.:10:58.

multiple failings in care. This video filmed by her family shows

:10:59.:11:02.

medication scattered round her hospital bed and she was sedated

:11:03.:11:06.

against her family 's wishes. Last October the health Minister said he

:11:07.:11:10.

was commissioning in Independence review into standards of care at the

:11:11.:11:14.

hospitals as a result of a meeting with Mrs Williams family. But then

:11:15.:11:24.

e-mail from Professor June Andrews states,

:11:25.:11:40.

the review, if it does not look back, will not be able to establish

:11:41.:11:46.

the reasons why things have gone so badly wrong in those hospitals over

:11:47.:11:52.

a number of years. The review must look back to learn lessons from the

:11:53.:11:58.

past so those lessons will never be repeated again. Patients have

:11:59.:12:02.

suffered, they have come to harm, they have suffered indignities

:12:03.:12:07.

beyond belief. That is wrong. His concerns have been echoed by the

:12:08.:12:10.

charity, action against medical accidents. The experience with

:12:11.:12:16.

patients and families will have no place in this review and that is

:12:17.:12:21.

simply not satisfactory. We need to get to the bottom of why these

:12:22.:12:25.

serious failings in these hospitals took place in the first place. We

:12:26.:12:31.

need to learn lessons from the past, that is a basic principle of

:12:32.:12:38.

basic patient safety. The health minister was asked about the remade

:12:39.:12:43.

today. There is nothing to prevent Professor Andrews from looking into

:12:44.:12:47.

standards of care in the past where she feels that is what she needs to

:12:48.:12:52.

do. I have been clear that is no point in me and establishing an

:12:53.:12:56.

independent enquiry and then trying to tell the person doing the enquiry

:12:57.:13:01.

exactly how they should go about it. But in a statement this evening, the

:13:02.:13:05.

last government says it is likely the review will cover the period of

:13:06.:13:09.

Lillian Williams's care but whether that'll be enough to reassure the

:13:10.:13:12.

Williams family remains to be seen. The former leader of the Welsh

:13:13.:13:14.

Conservatives has The former leader of the Welsh

:13:15.:13:22.

Bourne of Aberystwyth told Wales Today

:13:23.:13:23.

Our parliamentary correspondent, with

:13:24.:13:28.

Our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock is here. This has been

:13:29.:13:38.

prompted by a letter sent to the Prime Minister by almost 100 of his

:13:39.:13:44.

own MPs at the weekend in which those MPs call for Westminster to be

:13:45.:13:48.

able to veto EU laws they don't like. Whether they be on energy or

:13:49.:13:53.

social policy. That has provoked Nick Bourne to a strong response. He

:13:54.:13:59.

says those MPs have got their priorities wrong. He says the

:14:00.:14:03.

Conservatives will not win the election by being UK like in terms

:14:04.:14:11.

of its approach is. He says they should drop what he calls an

:14:12.:14:17.

obsession that isn't shared by other voters. If you look at the last 20

:14:18.:14:25.

years, the Conservative Party when it has and on about Europe has lost

:14:26.:14:30.

elections. Its second -- finish second to the Labour Party. The only

:14:31.:14:36.

time we beat Labour was in 2010 when we did not bang on about Europe.

:14:37.:14:42.

What do those MPs have to say? They say they are helpful to a Prime

:14:43.:14:46.

Minister who has promised to hold the referendum on British membership

:14:47.:14:55.

in the EU. Of the 96 also MPs, Glyn Davies has been talking to us. He

:14:56.:14:59.

says he hopes that this letter he has signed will help the Prime

:15:00.:15:05.

Minister in his renegotiation of Britain's membership of the EU. I am

:15:06.:15:11.

not obsessing about it. But it is an issue people cared about. The people

:15:12.:15:15.

of Britain and Wales have decided they want to have a say whether for

:15:16.:15:22.

or against it. It is but the relationship with the EU on the

:15:23.:15:27.

agenda. The Prime Minister does not think he is being helpful. He thinks

:15:28.:15:32.

the Conservative position of having a referendum, if they win the next

:15:33.:15:37.

election, is enough and Conservatives should concentrate on

:15:38.:15:41.

other issues. Nick Bourne is echoing comments made by David Cameron in

:15:42.:15:44.

the past about his party in a non-about Europe but in politics

:15:45.:15:48.

everything comes around again. Two historic cannon have been

:15:49.:15:51.

uncovered on a beach in Porthcawl after the recent storms. They're

:15:52.:15:55.

thought to be around 200 years old and were found by walkers on Pink

:15:56.:15:59.

Bay after high tides shifted the sand. Porthcawl Museum will now

:16:00.:16:03.

carry out research and preservation work so they can be put on display.

There was a true work so they can be put on display.

chemicals. At the moment, as you can see, the in sea water. We have to

:16:30.:16:35.

put his back in sea water. There used to be one on every high

:16:36.:16:39.

street but now a UK heritage charity is warning that more should done to

:16:40.:16:42.

protect Wales' oldest cinemas. It says many of those that still

:16:43.:16:46.

survive are at risk of collapse or demolition.

:16:47.:16:55.

In Wales, the 1920s and '30s saw a golden age in cinema-going and

:16:56.:17:00.

cinema building. Picture houses appeared up and down the country.

:17:01.:17:05.

Every town had at least one. In Port Talbot, the jewel in the crown was

:17:06.:17:09.

the Art Deco Plaza Cinema. It's still there today, a Grade II listed

:17:10.:17:13.

building that now stands derelict and boarded up. According to the

:17:14.:17:18.

charity that safeguards UK cinemas, old picture palaces in Wales, like

:17:19.:17:21.

this one, are being needlessly neglected. Once these buildings are

:17:22.:17:31.

gone, they are gone. It is worth saving these buildings because a lot

:17:32.:17:36.

of them have disappeared in the last ten years. You have got a case down

:17:37.:17:43.

the road from here in Bridgend where the Embassy Cinema was demolished

:17:44.:17:48.

needlessly in our opinion because it was a perfectly adaptable building

:17:49.:17:53.

and in very good condition. There are many others that are under

:17:54.:17:55.

threat of demolition. Wales used to have hundreds of

:17:56.:17:58.

cinemas, there are now fewer than 60. Many local picture houses were

:17:59.:18:01.

forced to close when multiplexes arrived in the nineties. And

:18:02.:18:05.

cinema-going itself has always gone through peaks and troughs. Many of

:18:06.:18:15.

the old cinemas are converted into being goals. That meant the

:18:16.:18:22.

buildings themselves were in use. But bingo halls themselves are now

:18:23.:18:25.

facing tough times. This one has already closed it stores. Across the

:18:26.:18:31.

country many of our historic palaces phase and uncertain future from the

:18:32.:18:36.

Castle Cinema in Swansea to the Palace in Conwy. In the village of

:18:37.:18:39.

Nantymoel in the Ogmore Valley, the community had converted an old

:18:40.:18:43.

working men's hall into a cinema. Last summer, it was demolished by

:18:44.:18:46.

Bridgend Council who said the building had deteriorated beyond

:18:47.:18:49.

repair and was a health and safety risk. Local groups argued otherwise.

:18:50.:18:58.

It was terrible to see such a wonderful loving, such a history,

:18:59.:19:02.

just literally having the life torn out of it. You can save the life of

:19:03.:19:08.

the community was going with it. But there are examples of classic

:19:09.:19:11.

cinemas being saved and brought back to life as successful businesses.

:19:12.:19:14.

front door. enough people coming through the

building if you have money coming in. You can ensure the future. If

:19:39.:19:45.

the towel loses its cinema it is rare that we open again.

:19:46.:19:48.

Preserving the past is a costly business. Back in Port Talbot, the

:19:49.:19:52.

council says it's working hard to find the money to save the Plaza.

:19:53.:19:56.

But the fact remains that the longer these old cinemas remain empty, the

:19:57.:19:59.

more they deteriorate and no amount of movie magic will bring them back

:20:00.:20:02.

to life. Time now for the sport news with

:20:03.:20:05.

Claire. Good evening. Only a fortnight into

:20:06.:20:10.

the New Year and we're already talking about the fight to remain in

:20:11.:20:14.

football's top flight. Defeats for Cardiff City and Swansea City this

:20:15.:20:18.

weekend has seen them both drop down the table but both managers are

:20:19.:20:21.

remaining upbeat saying the next few games are crucial to ensuring

:20:22.:20:30.

Premier League survival. Two managers with a battle on their

:20:31.:20:33.

hands. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Michael Laudrup note this is a vital

:20:34.:20:38.

period, their teams and on the wrong end of the table. Cardiff city 's

:20:39.:20:43.

defeat at West Ham was not in the script on the script, managers home

:20:44.:20:47.

debut. West Ham were supposed to be there for the taking but they came

:20:48.:20:52.

away with the points and a 2-0 win. The manager is looking forward and

:20:53.:20:56.

hoping to make his third transfer signing of the next 24 hours. But

:20:57.:21:01.

just as it the and Manchester United are still to come before the end of

:21:02.:21:06.

the month. We will work at it. I know this is not going to be all

:21:07.:21:11.

singing and dancing. I expected to be a tough job. It is so tight from
